Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 404: He Doesn’t Care

When Hunter saw her scoff, his anger ebbed away.

Standing by the bed, he was watching her. When he simmered down, he was cold and domineering again.

“Why are you looking for me? Young Master Hunter.” Emily smiled at him.

“It’s very late. You came to my room and shut the door. Aren’t you afraid that Wendy will misunderstand us?”

“She’s reasonable,” Hunter snorted.

With her hands hidden under the quilt, Emily gripped the sheets.

On the surface, she remained calm.

“So, it’s because you have a reasonable girlfriend. No wonder she doesn’t mind her man sleeping with another woman.”

Hunter ignored her and stared at her face for a while to make sure nothing was wrong. Then he walked away.

Instead of going out, he sat on a chair and looked back at her.

Emily couldn’t read his mind.

What happened was important, but he didn’t even ask about it. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She doubted their relationship now.

Hunter wanted to smoke, so he touched his pocket for cigarettes only to find nothing.

His gaze finally fell on Emily.

“What do you want to say?” he asked.

Emily turned around and said, “Why do you think I should say something?”

She smiled coldly. “Then, Young Master Hunter, why don’t you tell me what you want to hear so that I can repeat it to please you?”

“Are you trying to provoke me?” Hunter narrowed his eyes.

Emily felt a chill from him as well as a sign of anger.

But tonight, Emily didn’t fear it at all.

Perhaps she did, but she was already consumed by another emotion, so the fear was ignored.

“I dare not. You are the lofty Young Master Hunter. It’s not good for me to do that.”

“It’s good that you know.”

“I always know.”

He suddenly got up and walked towards her.

Feeling a towering chill, Emily turned to glare at him, her face full of precaution. “What are you going to do?”

“You’re still mine. It’s late and here’s no one but you and me. What do you think I’m going to do?”

Since Emily had the guts to provoke him, she shouldn’t be afraid of his passion.

She was unyielding just now.

He had seen her like that for a long time.

She didn’t give in and he let her!

After stopping by the bed, he leaned over and approached her.

Emily abruptly retreated, yet in vain. She was grabbed by him and he easily pulled her back.

“Hunter, we’re in the Gales’ house!”

“So what?” That didn’t change the fact that she was his woman.

“If you want to curry favor with the Gale family and stay with Wendy, you shouldn’t be messing around here! The moment I shout, everyone will be alarmed!”

She didn’t believe that he would act recklessly.

But this time, Emily guessed wrong again.

Not only did Hunter act recklessly, he also acted boldly!

Emily’s clothes were ripped open.

“You!”

Shocked, she pushed his chest.

“You’ve lost your mind!”

“For what?”

Hunter sneered. He wasn’t crazy, but Emily had her head in the clouds.

“Believe it or not, even if I make out with you in front of the Gale family, Wendy won’t leave me.”

“You …”

“What a bastard! How annoying!” Emily said to herself.

She believed it! How could she not believe it?

Hunter was a lunatic, so was Wendy!

A bastard and a woman obsessed with him made a perfect match!

Right now, Emily couldn’t fight him head-on.

Hunter would do whatever he wanted without hesitation.

Emily was curious to know whether he would do what he said in front of the whole family, if she cried for help.

He pressed her down, and she gave up struggling and closed her eyes.

Tears tickled out of the corners of her eyes.

They wetted her lips and tasted salty. She felt bitter.

Hunter’s anger petered out after he noticed the teardrops.

He looked down at her.

Lying motionless under him, she was like an inanimate wooden doll.

Hunter was a little irritated.

The flame caused by her earlier was now extinguished by her tears.

Hunter started to doubt that she liked being so close to him.

He got up, turned around and left. The door slammed shut.

He didn’t look back.

Emily was staring blankly at the empty room. She didn’t know if she was relieved or disappointed.

She couldn’t figure out why she was disappointed.

Hunter didn’t ask her anything about her and Joseph.

“You didn’t care and gave up long ago, right?

If that’s the case, why did you still come to me?”

Emily murmured to herself, trying to convince herself that he came to her just for a good time.

In his eyes, she was just a pitiful tool, so he didn’t care what happened to her at all.

He didn’t care what she did with other men, either.

Emily sat up and curled up, dejected.

In the hall, in front of the family, she pretended to be intimate with Joseph, because she angry with Hunter.

She never coveted Joseph, let alone an engagement to him.

She just wanted to see if their closeness bothered Hunter at all.

It turned out that Hunter didn’t react. It was clear that this had nothing to do with him.

Emily felt that they already became so estranged.

Apart from that agreement, there was nothing left between them.

…

When Hunter returned to his room, his phone rang.

He closed the door before picking up.

“Young Master Hunter, Joe is staying in a hotel not far away.”

On the other end of the phone, Liam’s deep voice came.

“Where’s the stuff?” Hunter looked into the dark outside the window.

It was dim and blurry as if the entire world was covered with a layer of fog.

Liam lowered his voice and said, “It has already been changed. Joe doesn’t know, so he takes it straight for a DNA test.”

Hunter did not say anything. Liam added, “Young Master, Joseph might take action.”

“Even if he does, someone will stop him. We don’t need to worry about Joseph.”

Liam was a little surprised and asked, “What happened?”

Liam was out at night, so he didn’t know what was happening in the Gales’ villa.

“The Gale family caught Joseph and Emily in bed …”

“You’re joking!”

Liam did not believe that Emily would do such a thing.

“Young Master, please trust Miss Emily. It was absolutely impossible! Someone must have set her up.”

Hunter remained silent. There were cigarettes on the table. He took one and lit it.

Liam calmed down and an idea dawned on him.

“That’s why you said someone would stop Joseph, right?”

Hunter always thought faster than Liam.

However, Liam was still uptight. “Then … they …”

“The Gale family caught them before they started.”

Liam heaved a sigh of relief and said, “So, perhaps this will be helpful to us. Young Master, I know what to do next.”
